“Buckeye Eagle”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Buckeye Eagle is an American powered parachute that was designed and produced by Buckeye Industries of Argos, Indiana.^[1]^[2]

Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of {{convert|254|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}. The aircraft has a standard empty weight of {{convert|220|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}. It features a parachute-style high-wing, single-place accommodation, tricycle landing gear and a single {{convert|40|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 447 engine in pusher configuration. The {{convert|50|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 503 engine was a factory option.^[1]^[2]

The Eagle is built from a combination of bolted aluminium and 4130 steel tubing. In flight steering is accomplished via foot pedals that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. On the ground the aircraft has lever-controlled nosewheel steering. The main landing gear incorporates spring rod suspension. The aircraft was factory supplied in the form of an assembly kit that requires 30–40 hours to complete.^[1]^[2]

The Eagle has a conversion kit that allows exchanging the parachute wing for a hang glider-style wing to convert the aircraft into an ultralight trike.^[1]

With the parachute wing, the standard day, sea level, no wind, take off with a {{convert|50|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} engine is {{convert|300|ft|m|0|abbr=on}} and the landing roll is {{convert|100|ft|m|0|abbr=on}}.^[2]
